Overwhelmed by the Sect Leader's aura, the Steward hastily bowed and recounted the details from Yan Yaoyang and Li Lei's secret report. He described how they had tracked the Zhu Family to an inn at Black Water Pier, encountered masters from the Demon Sect, and how the inn had filled with Black Evil Qi, followed by horrific screams... Yan Yaoyang and Li Lei, unable to even fend for themselves, had been forced to flee.
After hearing the account, Sang Yanping pondered for a moment before stepping forward. "Brother Sect Leader, Yan Yaoyang and Li Lei didn't witness Chen Qing's death with their own eyes, nor did they see a body. The Demon Sect's methods are treacherous. Perhaps something else happened; there might still be a sliver of hope."
A glint flickered in He Yuzhou's eyes as he slowly nodded.
